To my ears it has a certain charm, although certainly not classic J.M.,and it definitely doesn't give any indication of the greatness to come.
But, I just really like the feel of it.
I remembered it quite fondly but it didn't do a lot for me this time around. Not bad at all just a bit more derivative - of Roy Harper mainly to my ears - than the classic 70s albums. I had actually forgotten about both those pre Bev n John albums until I got them all out for an airing. The later stuff (everything after Grace and Danger really) just made me really sad. There were a few where I couldn't get past a couple of songs - especially all that faux Clapton / Weller besuited, lite bluesman stuff. The cover of Glory Box is good though.
